[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald]
Treat me sweet and gentle
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me

[Bridge: Duke Ellington]
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues away all day
Waiting for you
You better get it before I forget the words

[Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington]
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me (I'll do it, babe)
But please don't tease me

[Scatting: Ella Fitzgerald]

[Spoken: Ella Fitzgerald]
Paul Desmond, ladies and gentlemen
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald]
You made us sentimental
The way you received our show
We'd love to squeeze you
Really don't wanna tease you

[Scatting: Ella Fitzgerald]

[Outro: Ella Fitzgerald]
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues away all day
Hoping and longing for you
Please let me hold you tight
For I get sentimental
When I hold you tight
Squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Don't tease
Don't tease, honey, come on, come on, don't tease me
